Subject: [PATCH] fix(docs): Fix event type definitions to use H160 for ink! v6
 compatibility

## Summary
Corrects the Events documentation to use `H160` type for account addresses, resolving type mismatch errors when developers follow the examples in ink! v6.

## Problem
The current documentation shows event definitions using `AccountId`:
```rust
#[ink(event)]
pub struct Transferred {
    from: Option<AccountId>,  // Causes compilation error
    to: Option<AccountId>,
    value: Balance,
}
```
When developers follow this example with ink! v6, they encounter a type mismatch error:
```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
expected `AccountId`, found `H160`
```
This occurs because `Self::env().caller()` returns `H160` in ink! v6's default environment (pallet-revive), not `AccountId`.

## Changes Made
### Event Type Definitions
- Changed `Option<AccountId>` to `Option<H160>` in all event examples
- Updated signature topic example from `blake2b("Transferred(Option<AccountId>,Option<AccountId>,u128)")` to `blake2b("Transferred(Option<H160>,Option<H160>,u128)")`
- Ensured consistency across all code snippets in the Events documentation

### Files Modified
- `docs/basics/events.md`

## Why H160 in ink! v6?
ink! v6 migrated from `pallet-contracts` to `pallet-revive`, which prioritizes Ethereum/Solidity compatibility:
- **pallet-revive uses H160** (20-byte addresses) instead of traditional 32-byte AccountId for Ethereum compatibility
- **`Address` is a type alias for `H160`** in ink_primitives (both are interchangeable)
- **Enables compatibility** with Ethereum tooling like MetaMask, Hardhat, and Solidity contracts
- **`Self::env().caller()`** now returns `H160` by default

## Verification
 **Matches official example**: The [official ERC20 example](https://github.com/use-ink/ink-examples/blob/main/erc20/lib.rs) uses `Address` (alias for `H160`)

**Compiles successfully**: Code examples now compile without type mismatch errors in ink! v6

**Consistent with pallet-revive**: Aligns with [pallet-revive's H160 address type](https://docs.rs/pallet-revive/latest/pallet_revive/struct.H160.html)

## References
- [pallet-revive documentation](https://docs.rs/pallet-revive/latest/pallet_revive/)
- [Official ERC20 example using Address which is a type alias for H160](https://github.com/use-ink/ink-examples/blob/main/erc20/lib.rs)

## Testing
- [x] Tested code examples locally with ink! v6
- [x] Verified examples compile without errors
- [x] Cross-referenced with official ink-examples like the ERC20 example in the repository
